I still haven't had any success with my signal quality level displayed. I wonder if the tuner signal level can be affected by the way the antenna wire is soldered on in the begging of this thread?

My symptoms are:

Tuner shows full strength and reception of the FM station is pretty decent, but RDS light never stays on for more than 2 seconds - sound quality seems to fade in and out of "stereo"

Tuner shows full strength on weak FM signals (hear some music but very staticey)

Tuner shows 3 bars on FM stations with absolutly no recetion at all - all static.

Tuner shows full strength on AM on every frequency regardless of actual signal presence (very bad reception on any AM station).


I have not taken the module apart yet, but i dont see how having it shorted out or the core not connected at all could cause these problems...

What I should do is have a professional assembe the second kit i have and see if there is any difference or if it's "Dodge Dakota Antenna" related...
